bahrain bahrain the us uses that as a pivot point tried to intervene in control of the middle east the idea. is clearly there are. a joke in the modern world and the only ones who don't get it are the. israel says it will go ahead with plans to build fifteen hundred new settlement homes in east jerusalem the part of the city that's considered palestinian land the project was given to an intermediate greenlight on monday this comes less than a month after a un granted palestine nonmember observer status palestinians want is jerusalem to be a capital of future palestinian state and promising to raise the issue at a security council meeting author and historian gerald ford says that with palestine's recent upgrade israel is playing a risky game israel is making a very dangerous wager that its chief ally in washington can protect it from the reach of international law but i think that's
12:04 am
a misjudgment. the enhanced status of the palestinian authority raises the possibility that the israeli beater ship can be dragged before the international criminal court in the hague for various transgressions not only that but the neighborhood of israel is changing with the rise of the south and the rise of the islamicist so i think israel is playing a very dangerous game in the short term and in the long term the problem is that mr netanyahu does not want a settlement of this question he feels that his regime can continue in a land grab a grab a palestinian land and settling palestinian land which jewish settlers at info night i'm into the future however it's well known that israel's main protector in washington is declining in international significance with the rise of the brics brazil russia india and china and south africa the balance of forces and the

correlation of forces of globally is changing to israel's detriment because really authorities would be wise to change their ill advised policy before it's too late and as he's well feels increasingly isolated at the un of a six punishing policy the arab spring means it's increasingly isolated in its own neighborhood as well the turmoil has seen it become the target of more toxic militant talk it sent even stray shells from across the border with syria he's put his hand out for. there's a storm brewing in the middle east and it's leaving a chill in the hearts of most israelis say what you might about the arab spring it poses an obvious problem for tel aviv they mean and so we've seen just a few weeks ago. plenty of missiles falling on israel form a radical. regime and we see. already the

beginning of maybe a attrition war in the golan heights we see plenty of the angels in the mediterranean sea israel's backyard has become a lot more dangerous in the last two years weapons from libya are leaking across borders and landing in the hands of unknown militant groups the trouble ahead is symbolized by the muslim brotherhood sweep to power in egypt from this rally in june an ominous promise by the movement to make sure resulin and not cry will the capital at a minimum what we're seeing is the free flow of weapons money and supplies from egypt into the gaza strip we will see egyptian volunteers going into the gaza strip to fight that's the minimum moving up from there the possibility of egypt israel war is by no means impossible but it was democracy that brought the muslim brotherhood to power and i deal both israel and the west came to espouse but both

a tremendous challenges and. in order to maintain. law and order to establish a real democracy the need need some time but television fears that in the time it takes for that democracy to really take root and for the arab public perhaps one day to accept a jewish state relations with its arab neighbors will get far worse before they get better the challenge now for israeli leadership is twofold to avoid inflaming arab public opinion while protecting israel and also to counter the growing to speak many israelis feel of the growing isolation in an increasingly volatile neighborhood policy r.t. tell of of and just ahead r.t. is serving time in a u.k. prison a stimulus for committing another crime later on this hour we'll focus on problems in british jails and reveals why it doesn't take much time for so many inmates to return shortly after being released. as the relatives

12:10 am
a question we're going to have to wait and see exactly what kind of steps lawmakers take and what the u.s. president takes but certainly i'm sure people are going to be demanding this kind of something to happen so that these situations are so they don't happen in the future over and over and over again parents holding their kids a little tighter and a little longer these days oh gosh i'm so glad that i have so many opportunities to . i love you i'm so glad you're mine i'm so glad you're in our family i'm so glad. you're you're here i'm still so glad that i'm having breakfast with you this morning candles flowers toys and grief filled newtown i keep hearing on the news over and over about the parents. or evil to get their kids and knows how to be told. their kids were in school. and

around sixty million dollars into a building a training range in the country's east the government of the sophia says this will help boost regional security and assist with the training of its soldiers and he will activist brian becker says the u.s. is seeking to extend its influence in eastern europe. we've seen that there is a strong motive force to maintain the cold war even without the soviet union and to incorporate the countries of eastern and central europe the former warsaw pact countries into an american sphere of influence through the medium of nato and so i think what the what the troop deployment the creation of more bases there already for. the incorporation of this as part of the nato strategy is one a threat to russia a threat to the national sovereignty of the people of bug area because they have foreign military bases and it incorporates both gary and makes it more secure as part of an american political and economic as well as military formation nato in
12:19 am
the creation in development of u.s. military bases which are always done under the pretext of security whether it be american security or regional security or global security what that really is is a method by which that country and its economy and its political leaders become securely fastened to to washington both in terms of the incorporation of u.s. military equipment selling u.s. military goods abroad which is a big business here but more than anything having undue influence in the host country you really can't be a free country and a free people and have foreign troops on your on your soil. asia's public prosecutor has resigned less than a month after being appointed by president morsi the opposition is celebrating the movers a victory for the independence of the judiciary most of the country's judges are critical of morse's recent policies many refused to see the referendum on egypt's new draft constitution which force the government to split it into two stages this

weekend's first round ended in favor of the president by a document according to unofficial counting data the voters however strongly contested by the opposition which has voted to take protesters to the streets of nationwide demonstrations later today. levels from the free syrian army have reportedly seized the yarmouk refugee camp for palestinians in the southern part of damascus fighting raged for several days with more than twenty five casualties reported support for and against president assad of a spirit inside the camp many refugees were moved to lebanon after the clashes broke out. fully declared and apparently legal reports have emerged that a huge amounts of gold are being flown out of afghanistan according to airport personnel most of it's headed to dubai which has long been considered a haven for laundered money but it's got a list and former. sultanzoy says this is just a new incarnation of
12:21 am
a trafficking racket carried out by the with the complicity of the other than the government. naturally when you're trying to stem the one thing from flowing away there will be other ways of doing it and naturally gold is being used not only in lieu of dollars take leaving afghanistan but also it's a very very interesting change for money launderers for drug smugglers and also there's. another angle to this which would be the dumping of gold by. regional players and even beyond the region because around afghanistan there are some central asian countries and even as far as russia up to russia all the good producers of. the. money that was coming into afghanistan or other bartering was taking place gold is taking a new shape in it and it is easier to carry and also the central bank of
12:22 am
afghanistan is totally oblivious to these things and they always act after the fact the same way that they acted about after the failure of the afghan one of the afghan banks they are also always behind the curve and the reputation of britain's prison system is taking a tumble with reports showing jails have become ever evolving door for refund the government has promised to turn the trend around by improving its systems on work and training in areas of confinement but it is also a staff after pools it seems the final being said and done. person locks up more people than anywhere else in europe yet where we do we get a glimpse of what life on the inside is really like and i would describe it as a sea of boredom. peppered with small ones of extreme violence and disruption stretched to breaking point you case prison systems are once again in the spotlight following a series of critical reports by the country's prisons inspectorate this government

promised the rehabilitation revolution the trouble is the revolution things taking its time to get. i don't see any rehabilitation revolution i mean the last government passed hundreds of new laws which were sweeping people back into the prison system and this government is going down the same line you know working people up that's the it's getting people out the difficulty getting them out so much that they they don't come back but despite all the rhetoric say far the government's promise is improved regimes all work and training in prisons have failed to materialize well as a bit of a cliché but prisons of education colleges of course you can go to prison as i did you know not only have to one of my park become a vast amounts of knowledge that's what prisoners do criminals and it's not only mixing with other criminals that's a problem it's become an a.p.

secret that the u.k.'s prisons are all washed with drugs. oh i would estimate. her when cheaper. it's a troubling accusation given that today the inmate population stands at more than eighty thousand people right now in a person's relief from prison they've given forty six pounds with very little of the support released back into the same communities have all the same problems as before so it should be no surprise that all too often it's not long before those people and up back inside the figures show a startling rise over the past years in the number who leave prison to go on to commit further crimes forty seven point five percent of the reconvicted within one year being released prisons prisons it seems have become a revolving door of ray offenders and with all the government cuts it's hard to see
